Workout Plans By Equipment Owned

Over the coming months I will create multiple workout plans. I'll even create workout plans to tie in with the exercise equipment you already have access to. Eventually, clicking on any of the images below will transport you through time and space and leave you on their respective pages where you can download the Maximus Work Out Plans for that particular exercise equipment. For August, I've create a simple yet effective work out plan, available as of 1st August, from right within the Lifestyle Magazine - so grab the plan, put the plan into action and together we'll get fitter and healthier than before.

Individuals, organisations and corporations all need a strategy. A strategic plan is similar to creating a written road-map to guide you from where you are today - to where you want to be in the future. It is astonishing how many people and companies do not have a written strategic plan to guide them in how to allocate their time, their money, their talent and their other resources. The Crafty Strategic Business Plan is based on the Think - Write & Do practise to get your thoughts and plans out of your head, and onto paper.

First, you have to THINK about your priorities, your values, your mission and your purpose. When was the last time you stepped away from spreadsheets and revenue analysis and took time to 'think' about what is important to your customers, clients, or employees? Without this information, you'll never know your 'Why'. Establish a foundation of 'Why' you are doing what you are doing.

Next, you will write down your strategic plans. Having the time to convert your thoughts into a concrete written strategic plan of action is one of the most compelling reasons to follow this process. You will have time to realise your core corporate beliefs, your goals and timelines.

Finally, DO. Many individuals, organisations and corporations have thought about what they want to accomplish, a smaller number have even gone to the trouble of writing down their goals - but only a few number will have a strategic plan for how they will execute monthly, weekly and daily action steps to accomplish their goals.

Do you know exactly where you need to be 90 days from now? have you clarified what your company will look like in five years?

Craftys Daily Planner

Craftys Daily Planner is simple to use and has been purchased by thousands of people who are looking for practical tools to ORGANISE their lives.

Once you have prioritised your values, you need to organise your goals into a daily plan of action. Craftys Daily Planner is a systematic, repeatable process to take your 90-day goals and translate them into daily high value action steps.

Your 5 Before Noon list will become one of the primary keys to your success.

Chaos, Distraction, Indecision and procrastination are enemies of success. organisation allows you to focus on what is truly important to you.

Thousands of highly productive people rely on the Crafty Lifestyle Planner to focus their attention on their most important goals, avoid distractions, and end mental clutter and chaos. Instead of chaos, these people have discovered a simple, step-by-step process for organising their entire life. These people don't just work hard, they work smart. Calendars, date books, and other reminder tools simply list your obligations. This must have tool helps you actively take charge of your time, orienting everything you do toward your most important priorities.

Everything you need to manage your time, achieve your goals and balance your life at work and at home.

​This is more than just a collection of to-do lists and calendars, although those are included.

This is a tool that helps you to evaluate and define your life purpose, dreams, long- and short-term goals, and put them into 90-day implementation periods that you can actually accomplish.

Every day, the planner serves as a command station, referring you back to your big-picture goals while helping you to get through your day in the most efficient way possible.

· Daily progress reports (where you do your planning and tracking every day)​· And more!

As you go through the planning process, here’s what you do:

· Define your priorities

· Define your purpose

· Define your life goals

· Establish 90-day goals that reflect your season of life and long-term vision​· Plan and track daily tasks with immediate needs and long-term goals in mind (these daily progress reports take up the bulk of the planner)

My Implementation. I put sticky flags on four sections of the planner:

· Daily Progress Report (the day’s to-do’s and goal-tracking progress)​Every night I’d set up my daily progress report for the next day. I often would look over my purpose page and goals pages for motivation and to keep me focused. The following day, the planner would be open and I could work through it.

​I would write out my daily 5 things to accomplish before noon. I rarely accomplished them before noon, but it was helpful to have my top 5 tasks defined so I made sure I tackled them first and had them done by the end of the day. Yes, I put “drink coffee” on that list more than once just to make myself feel good! For 7-Minute Life Connections, I put three people I wanted to intentionally spend time with or contact based on my goals and purpose. Often it was special time with one of the kids or an email or phone call to a friend or relative.

​​I didn’t use all the sections and there were some that I used, but not for the intended purpose. All my appointments are on a digital calendar and I saw no use in duplicating that. I did sometimes use that section to sketch out the day’s school and daycare activities. I used the Daily Contacts section to record the daycare and blog-related items I wanted to accomplish or at least keep in view that day. The water intake section was particularly handy since I’ve been working on drinking more water.

​Bottom Line:

I loved the perspective and goal-setting process in this planner. The 90-day goal tracking sheets are very helpful and have provided me a way to realistically implement longer-term goals into my daily tasks, which is something I’ve been missing. I will definitely continue using that aspect of the planner. I also like the daily habits area of the progress report and the reminders on each day to prioritise, organise, and simplify.

​I think this planner is definitely geared more toward folks working outside the home or full time from home. It could also be adapted as a main home-school planner. It is especially useful for those who want to do all of their planning in a paper planner rather than digital. Although it is easy enough to write in different labels for sections I don’t need, or to not use them altogether, I did have to do some work to make it really work for me on a daily basis.

​Gratitude Card Set

​A set of 60 cards to remind us of the many reasons we have to be thankful.We are experts at focusing on what is missing from our lives. Our dissatisfaction often serves us well; it keeps us from complacency and boredom. But we are also dragged down by a pernicious inability to stop, take stock and recognise what isn't imperfect and appalling.In our haste to secure the future, we omit to notice what is already very good. This pack of cards is designed to help us pause in our striving and, for a few moments, take on board some of what we have to be grateful for - a consoling, inspiring corrective to the lessons in cynicism and sourness that the world teaches every day.​Example Cards:· There were no outright catastrophes today.· Others forget the stupid things we’ve done faster than we do.· We can reinvent ourselves – a bit.· Other people are usually shyer, sweeter and kinder than we’d anticipated· We have managed to learn a few things down the years· We don’t have to take ourselves seriously · Many of the people we love are still alive.· We could disappear for a bit.· Many of the world’s most interesting people have written down their thoughts

Some of the Benefits

​There are many life-enhancing benefits of using The Miracle Morning JOURNAL, a few of which include:

GAINING CLARITY: The process of writing down our thoughts forces us to think through them enough to understand them. Thus, The Miracle Morning JOURNAL will give you more clarity, allowing you to brainstorm, and helping you to achieve goals and more effectively work through your problems and challenges.

CAPTURING IDEAS: Journaling helps you not only expand your ideas, but also prevents you from losing the important ideas that you may want to act on in the future.

REVIEWING LESSONS: The Miracle Morning JOURNAL enables you to review and strengthen all of the lessons you’re learning.

ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR PROGRESS: Going back and re-reading your Miracle Morning JOURNAL entries and seeing how muchprogress you’ve made is one of the most empowering, confidence-inspiring and enjoyable experiences that can’t really be duplicated any other way.​The Miracle Morning JOURNAL allows you to document your journey to creating the most extraordinary life you've ever imagined... Starting right NOW.

Any TIME is a wonderful time to start thinking about our hopes, plans and intentions for your future!​It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the rush of daily life and endless to-do lists.One of my favourite ways to manage this is to sit down with a journal and a cup of tea, get all of my busy thoughts out of my head and onto paper and start setting some meaningful intentions.

​Welcome to Craftys Lifestyle Planner—the one place to collect all your thoughts.

Craftys Lifestyle Planner is more than just a planner—it is a tool that helps you break down your short and long-term goals and incorporate them into your daily life. It has been designed to encourage you to plan for the future, reflect on the past, but most importantly, act on the present.

Think of it as your inner, 24/7 life coach—always ready to challenge you to focus on what is most important, accept your thoughts and ideas without judgement and prompt you to reflect on your everyday life.

We hope that it becomes a place where you can unclutter your mind, allowing you to focus on the present moment.

While being caught in a period of total directionless floating, I felt absolutely overwhelmed by past and current events, so much so that I feared for the future, my future. I realised that enough was enough.

I needed to take a step back and not only define what direction I wanted my life to go in, but also to discover what it was that was stopping me from moving in the direction I wanted to go in.

I was determined to re-write my road-amp. I took several sheets of A3 paper, and a stack of coloured pens, and started to sketch out my goals (what I wanted) and from there, wrote down the steps I’d be required to do in order to achieve my goals.

This idea that I could re-write my road map, took me on a journey of discovery. I researched ‘planners’ in all their various guises.

I wanted a planner that could be the place for all my thoughts, have the structure of a calendar (so I could track my progress), and had the potential for creativity, that a sketchbook would provide, and last but by no means least, a planner that had the reflection space of a journal.

When I couldn’t find one to meet my needs (as if one simple planner could meet all those needs) I designed one. That’s how the Craftys Lifestyle Planner was born.

USING THE MIND MAP

Using Mind Maps always helps generate new ideas and document the ideas you have at the moment. You could be reading a book, having an intelligent conversation, watching a movie, or writing out your next big goal. Mind maps help in all of these situations. Let it be a visual representation of your thought process, you never know what might come out of it.

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS (WHICH PENS WORK BEST FOR YOU)

The pen you use with your Crafty Lifestyle Planneris one of your first important decisions.

Here are a few of the pens we use in our layouts: Muji Gel Ink Ballpoints, Tombow Fudenosuke Twin Tip Brush Pens, Sharpie Pens, Pilot G2s, and Sakura Pigma Microns.

​These pens both write extremely well and don’t bleed through your pages.

POST-IT NOTES

You can never have too many Post-its. Here are some Post-It tips you can use for your planner!1) Use Post-Its to help time-block your appointments

3) Sometimes we need to change our plans. Post-Its are perfect for this!

TABS

Tabs are a great way to mark other important aspects in your Crafty Lifestyle Planner. For example, we find it useful to tab different sections such as: grids, blanks, reflections, months. It makes it easier to stay organised and to find what you are looking for.

SCRAPEBOOKING

Print out pictures and throughout the year, put them on the front page or throughout your planner. By the end of the year, you’ll have your very own scrapbook summing up your whole year and the amazing moments captured.

COLOUR-CODING

Do you have a couple favourite colours to use in your Crafty Lifestyle Planner? Try creating a colour legend to stay organised so you don’t forget what those colours mean.​This can help with organisation and gauging how much time you spend in different parts of your life. Sometimes we need to balance out our lives. This is a perfect way to do just that! :)

YOUR ROADMAP

Listing your goals on your Road-map can help you visually see your dreams. Fill out your road-map and start planning to do the things you’re passionate about. Draw a small illustration or place a sticker by each goal that best represents it. While planning your month, place a sticker or draw the illustration you plan to focus on for each week.

ONE GOOD MEMORY, EVERY DAY

Utilise the monthly calendar and write at least ONE memorable thing (good) thing that happened that day. When you look back, there won’t be a day that was wasted/insignificant.

NOT TO-DO LIST

​On your Not-To-Do list, write some bad habits you are trying to break. Habits creating a wall in between you and your goals. Anything you write here should be actively worked on to prevent in order to help achieve your personal goals. Mark tallies every time you catch yourself doing something you’re not supposed to do. That way, you have a baseline for improvement for the next month. If you slip up, don’t get down on yourself, just try not to do it again next time.

GROCERY LISTS

Write down recipes with adjacent grocery lists, so you’re prepared for the next week. Take advantage of sticky notes to write your grocery list and recipes to move them around whenever you need them!

FINANCE TRACKER

1) Use our finance sheet to track your budget2) Keep receipts in one place.3) Create a weekly budget and challenge yourself to stick to it!

MONTHLY REFLECTION

When it comes to the first one of the month, turn back the pages and reflect on the past month. Don’t forget that our past is there for us to learn from. Make this month even better than the last!

CUSTOMISE YOUR MONTHLY PLANNER

You can use your monthly planners in many different ways! Scheduling workouts is one we find very helpful in achieving fitness goals. Take a moment to sit down and write down your workout plans. Then cross out all the days that were successful and reward yourself for every 5-10 points you receive.

STOP - START - USE UNDATED PLANNERS

If you’re not naturally a planner person, getting used to planning can be hard! One of the great things about getting an undated planner is that you can start or stop whenever, skip weeks, or even months! Your planner doesn’t go to waste and neither does your time!

MESSED UP - RE-PRINT AND START AGAIN

Messing up in your planner can be frustrating especially if you’re a perfectionist. One of the benefits of using an undated planner is that if you mess up on a weekly or monthly spread, you can easily start fresh on one of the undated pages!

BREAK DOWN YOUR GOALS

Feeling daunted? Anxiety can paralyse us from completing our goals... but no worries! Use the weekly layout in your Crafty Lifestyle Planner to break down your goals into small, actionable steps that are easy for you to keep track of!

DEFINE YOUR FOCUS

Sometimes the best way to calm a chaotic mind is to write everything down! Every night before bed, take some time to define your next day’s focus! Going into the day with a clear goal is the best way to have a productive day!

SET ASIDE TIME

Start your day off right by setting aside some time by using your Crafty Lifestyle Planner to plan out this week. No matter how busy you are, remember to always set a little time for yourself to do the things you love! ​

​Crafty Projects are traffic generating entities. Each is designed to be shared and create traffic for the site as a whole. Products and services are being created to tie-in with each Crafty Project.​

CHALLENGE ACCEPTEDChallenge Accepted VaultChallenge Accepted is a series of challenges that were created to generate traffic for the Crafty Studios web site. Each challenge offers its own reward, whether that be, saving money, getting fit & healthy or making money from home.

BEST YEAR EVERBest Year Ever VaultThis is a perfect example of a traffic generating project that is transitioning into a product in its own right. The Best Year Ever started life as an article on making and keeping New Year resolutions. As I added content, the article grew and eventually turned into an eBook, with each page detailing one of 50 common New Year resolutions. I created 150 e-Guides that dealt with those New year resolutions. I am now in the process of creating packaging that will transform this Crafty Project into a tangible product.

Every month I release a new Crafty Lifestyle Magazine and each one will require a new 30 day workout challenge. ​The three blogs below hold the resources I'll use to create the 12 monthly workout challenges for the Crafty Lifestyle Magazine.

The Devils Playground is where I come when I want to let my creative juices flow. These are traffic generating projects on steroids.

Whereas Challenge Accepted projects are huge and time consuming to create, these projects are small and beautifully formed ideas that'll turn up within the Crafty Lifestyle Magazine from time to time. They generate traffic via shareable content.

Community based services: Big Whip Round is a fund raising magazine that'll help small (read tiny) community funded groups to raise money for their good cause. Business Directory is a free service for small businesses. It will also act as a 'first contact' point for networking. Crafty Job Club, is a work in progress, providing resources for job hunters and job providers. Friends of Great News was a networking idea I had that I will revisit sometime in the future. Staycation was an idea I had whereby I helped small hotels around the UK promote their services to my community. What's On is a magazine that promotes events, venues and the artists that perform there.

You don't create a magazine and a web site like Crafty Studios without learning a thing or two about marketing. I get my fair share of traffic and it's all with next to no funding. 30,000 page views a month isn't unusual, which is impressive when you consider that this website isn't even indexed by Google.

​CLUB MAXIMUSClub Maximus VaultClub Maximus is both a marketing service I hope to provide and a magazine promoting the giving of that service. The idea being I rent out a page within the magazine to businesses and provide them with virtual space within the website. I plan to charge a £20/month subscription for this service.
